Scouting Creighton (4-5-0, 1-0-0)
For the second time in six seasons as a member of the BIG EAST conference, the Bluejays opened conference action with a victory as Creighton bested Xavier 1-0 on Sunday.
Coming off of one of its best performances of the season on Oct. 14th against No. 20 Oklahoma State, Bluejay head coach Ross Paule felt his team was not at its best against the Musketeers.
"We didn't play very well today, but we kept working and fighting. Often the ability to work through a match when you're not at your best can yield a result." noted Paule.
Scouting St. John's (4-6-0, 0-1-0)
The Red Storm drew one of the toughest opening matches at the onset of BIG EAST play, dropping a 3-0 decision to Georgetown on Sunday. St. John's has dropped three of its last four matches, suffering shutouts in each loss. The Red Storm are 0-5-0 away from home this season. In the five road contests St. John's has been outscored 12-1.
Sophomore Zsani Kajan leads the Red Storm with 16 points on the season on seven goals and two assists. The next leading scorer for St. John's is senior Christina Bellero at eight points (three goals and two assists).
In goal the Red Storm have turned to sophomore Meredith Reinhardt for eight matches. The Arizona native has allowed 13 goals and posts a 1.87 GAA.
Win Over Xavier Helps Sullivan Nab BIG EAST Rookie of the Week, Jakubowski Snag Spot on Weekly Honor Roll
Sunday's win over Xavier (Sept. 23rd) helped a pair of Bluejays earn recognition from the BIG EAST conference on Monday as redshirt freshman Katie Sullivan claimed the Rookie of the Week award, while junior Taryn Jakubowski collected a Honor Roll slot.
Sullivan made eight saves in the Bluejays' 1-0 win in Sunday's BIG EAST opener against Xavier. Sullivan denied five shots in the first half and three in the second period as the Musketeers continued to apply pressure throughout the match.
Jakubowski provided the difference in the win over Xavier, heading in the game-winning goal in the 86th minute to give the Bluejays the victory in the BIG EAST opener.
Bluejays Open BIG EAST With Victory for Second Time in Three Seasons
Creighton opened BIG EAST conference play with a victory for the second time in three season as the Bluejays bested Xavier 1-0 on Sept. 23. After dropping its BIG EAST opener in each of its first three seasons, the Bluejays equaled the start of the 2016 squad with a win on Sunday. The last time the Bluejays opened a conference season with consecutive victories was 2011. That year Creighton went 4-0-1 in its first five matches in Missouri Valley play.
Shutout Win Over Xavier Marks Sixth Shutout in BIG EAST History
The Bluejays have 13 victories in their short tenure as members of the BIG EAST, six of those wins have been clean sheets by the Creighton defense. When limited the opposition to one goal or less the Bluejays are 8-4-5 in BIG EAST play. By contrast the Bluejays are 5-24-1 when allowing two goals or more in BIG EAST action.
